Download jAlbum 10.7

Version 10.7 of jAlbum has been released. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional looking HTML photo albums. In a clean interface, photos can be easily edited, the order can be changed and the appearance of the web page can be determined. If everything is to your liking, the result can be placed on a web page via the built-in ftp client. Because the software is developed in Java, jAlbum is available for a wide range of operating systems. The Windows version has issues with some versions of Java and is therefore bundled with Java, resulting in a larger download.

Since version 10, the program is no longer free for commercial use. A license for version 10 and all 10-series updates costs 39 euros, removes all advertising and gives access to higher priority support. Also new are full support for xmp metadata, the ability to now integrate created albums into websites, and the ability to exchange images and even entire folders between different projects. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

News and Updates

• jAlbum now supports a histogram for easier image editing and analysis
• Right-click image(s) and select “List metadata” to see all embedded metadata (exif+iptc+xmp) listed in a separate window
• Right click image(s) and select “Open with…” to integrate jAlbum with your favorite image editing software.
• jAlbum now also makes all xmp variables as parsed by Adobe’s standard library available via the “meta” object under the “xmp.” namespace. Previously, xmp variables were only available via a spare “xmp” object.
• Licensed albums are now tagged with an id number instead of the username of the license holder (for improved integrity)
• Bundled with updated Turtle skin 3.2.0
• Windows version bundled with updated Java 1.6.0_32

Bug fixes

• jAlbum 10.6 wouldn’t run from command line mode on servers lacking a display.
• More robust uploading: Album uploads would halt with a “No such file” error if album sub folders had been manually deleted from the server.
• For developers: jAlbum’s layout manager RiverLayout wasn’t respecting component’s maximum size limitation for elastic components
